The aim of this study was to identify the bat species in this region, which has glacial mountains, arid steppes, river valleys and vast plains. As a result of the field studies conducted between 2004 and 2017, totally 15 species belonging to Emballonuridae, Rhinolophidae, Vespertilionidae and Molossidae families of Microchiroptera suborder were identified in the study area. The habitat characteristics of the species and their locality records were presented. In this study, Myotis nattererii, M. aurescens, and Rhinolophus mehelyi were firstly recorded in the study area. Also, two new locations were determined for Taphozous nudiventris known from one location in Turkey up to the present. Keywords: Bat, distribution, Chiroptera, Southeastern Turkey. Güneydoğu Türkiye Yarasaları (Mammalia: Chiroptera) Öz Güneydoğu Türkiye özellikle Arap yarım adası, kuzey Afrika ve Ortadoğu bölgesinde yayılış gösteren yarasa türlerinin Türkiye’ye giriş yaptığı ve yoğun olarak bulunduğu önemli bir coğrafik bölgedir. Buzul dağlardan, kurak steplere, ırmak vadilerinden geniş düzlüklere sahip bu bölgedeki yarasa türlerini tespit etmek bu çalışmanın amacı oluşturmaktadır. 2004-2017 yılları arasında yapılan arazi çalışmaları sonucunda araştırma bölgesinden Microchiroptera alt takımının Emballonuridae, Rhinolophidae, Vespertilionidae ve Molossidae familyalarına mensup toplam 15 tür tespit edilmiştir. Türlere ait habitat özellikleri ve lokalite kayıtları verilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile Myotis nattererii, M. aurescens ve Rhinolophus mehelyi’nin araştırma bölgesinden ilk kez kaydı verilmiştir. Bununla birlikte bugüne kadar ülkemizden tek bir lokaliteden bilinen Taphozous nudiventris için iki yeni lokalite daha tespit edilmiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: Yarasa, yayılış, Chiroptera, Güneydoğu Türkiye. 1. Introduction Today, Southeastern Turkey is considered to be a part of Palearctic fauna zoogeographically; however, it has also been under the influence of Oriental (South Asia) and Ethiopia (Africa) fauna elements. Southeastern Turkey is the entrance way of Eremial (desert) and Afro-Eremial fauna elements into Anatolia [1]. In Turkey, there are 39 species belonging to the Pteropodidae, Emballonuridae, Rhinolophidae, Vespertilionidae and Molossidae families under the order Chiroptera [2]. A total of 22 bat species have *Sorumlu yazar: [email protected] Geliş Tarihi: 20.08.2020, Kabul Tarihi: 10.09.2020 1180 T. Yorulmaz, K. Toyran, İ. Albayrak / BEÜ Fen Bilimleri Dergisi 9 (3), 1180-1187, 2020 been recorded in the study area until today. 6 of these species have been identified by indirect methods such as stool analysis or detector [3-9]. The aim of this study was to determine the bat species in Southeastern Turkey, which has an important zoogeographic region, and to contribute to their spread. 2. Material and Method This study was conducted in the area including a part of Southeastern Anatolia Region and Eastern Anatolia Region between 2004 and 2010 (Figure 1). Records were provided from Gaziantep, Kilis, Şanlıurfa, Adıyaman, Diyarbakır, Mardin, Batman, Bitlis, Siirt, Şırnak, Van and Hakkâri provinces with the study. Also, the records obtained in several field works performed in the region from 2010 to 2017 were included in the study. The bat samples were obtained by researching caves, holes, empty buildings, roof space and similar places and using sweep nets and special bat nets (misnet) in various sizes. The habitat characteristics and international protection conditions of the determined species were presented. Figure 1. Study region (colored area) 3. Results As a result of the field works performed, a total of 15 species belonging to Emballonuridae, Rhinolophidae, Vespertilionidae and Molossidae families of Microchiroptera suborder were identified. 3.1. Family: Emballonuridae 3.1.1. Taphozous nudiventris (Cretzschmar, 1830) Habitat: Taphozous nudiventris is generally found between cracks in the rocky areas in valley sides from the bottom of which a river passes.

In this study, two new locations were determined for Taphozous nudiventris in Musabeyli district of Kilis (Figure 2). The determined locations are situated in the rocky area in the valley side and the distance between them is 3 km. 1181 T. Yorulmaz, K. Toyran, İ.

The morphological characters and morphometric features of second-stage juveniles and cysts showed the presence of 3 Heterodera species: H. avenae, H. filipjevi, and H. latipons. All morphological values of these distinct populations were very similar to those previously described for these species. Genetic variation was observed among the identified cyst nematode species H. avenae, H. filipjevi, and H. latipons. Intraspecific polymorphism was observed within H. avenae and H. latipons but not in H. filipjevi populations. Molecular analysis using ITS regions of rDNA confirmed the identities of the 3 Heterodera species. According to our results, 75% of isolates were identified as H. avenae, 15% as H.
